Abstract: In a search and database system, a graph generator builds a graph, comprising nodes and edges, and stores that graph in a database or other data structure and uses a repeated extending and culling process to build the graph. From that storage, the graph can be used to generate displays for users interested in learning about the graph and/or for performing queries and the like on that graph data.

Abstract: A system is provided for delivering network services. The system receives an inventory of network assets and a scope of available network services. For each asset of at least a subset of the assets, the system selects importance-related ranking attributes and scannability-related ranking attributes from the available service characteristics of the asset. Based on the importance-related ranking attributes, the system determines an importance of the asset. Based on the scannability-related ranking attributes or the or a scope of available network services, the system determines a scannability of the asset. Based on the importance and scannability of the asset, the system determines a priority of the asset. Based on the priorities of the assets, the system determines a prioritized asset inventory.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to methods for providing viewing access to an ultrasound image feed generated at an ultrasound imaging machine. A multi-use display device may form a first link-layer connection with the ultrasound image machine for transmitting commands that control imaging parameters of the ultrasound image feed. The multi-use display device may then: determine link-layer connection parameters that allow the ultrasound imaging machine to form a second link-layer connection with a receiving device (the receiving device having no link-layer connection with the ultrasound imaging machine), and provide the connection parameters to the receiving device. The ultrasound imaging machine forms a second link-layer connection with the receiving device, based the connection parameters. The second link-layer connection is then used for receiving, at the receiving device, the ultrasound image feed controlled by the multi-use display device.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to a system and method for creation of a patient account on a medical imaging system during a medical imaging examination. The method may involve operating a processor to: acquire a set of medical imaging data during the medical imaging examination, the set of medical imaging data being acquired in association with a logged-in medical professional account on the medical imaging system; display a new patient account prompt to initiate creation of the patient account; receive a patient identifier to initiate the creation of the patient account; and use the patient identifier to initiate the creation of the patient account, the patient account to be used for accessing at least a portion of the set of medical imaging data acquired during the medical imaging examination.

Abstract: Ultrasound images are adjusted according to the size of the display area available to display them, so that image detail is displayed with a large enough physical size to discern comfortably. A translation ratio is determined for translating the physical distance traversed by the ultrasound signals of an ultrasound images to a corresponding physical distance on a screen of the display device. If the ratio is not below a threshold, the image is displayed in full. If the ratio is below the threshold, the image is cropped, optionally scaled, and displayed in the available area. Scaling and cropping may be based on window size and threshold window size. The parameters of the ultrasound scan may be controlled based on the scaling, cropping, or available screen size. User interface features may be displayed on the screen depending on how much area is available when the image is displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing an interactive demonstration of an ultrasound user interface are generally described herein. The method may include, at a multi-use display device: receiving a demonstration ultrasound dataset from a server; displaying, on the ultrasound user interface, ultrasound data from the demonstration ultrasound dataset; receiving input, on the ultrasound user interface, to interact with the ultrasound data from the ultrasound dataset; and in response to the received input, updating the ultrasound user interface so that the ultrasound user interface corresponds to the received input, the updated ultrasound user interface appearing substantially similar to an appearance of the ultrasound user interface that is displayed if the received input is received during display of a live ultrasound image feed.

Abstract: An ultrasound scanner in a spectral Doppler mode, in which a corresponding two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound imaging mode (e.g., B-mode) image is frozen, is switched temporarily to the 2D-mode in response to a continuous contact on a touchscreen. During the continuous contact, the spectral Doppler mode is interrupted, the 2D-mode image becomes live, and the gate for the spectral Doppler mode may be adjusted by a movement of the continuous contact on the touchscreen. Upon termination of the continuous contact, the system reverts back to the spectral Doppler mode, which now operates within the adjusted gate, and the 2D-mode image is frozen. A brief contact may be used to check the position of the gate against a live 2D-mode image without adjusting it.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to ultrasound imaging systems and methods that provide a user interface on the touchscreen display. The user interface includes an ultrasound image feed and a single control for modifying imaging depth of the ultrasound image feed. When input via the single control is received to modify the imaging depth, the system: adjusts frequency of ultrasound signals being used to acquire the ultrasound image feed; adjusts a beamformer parameter of the ultrasound signals being used to acquire the ultrasound image feed; receives first image data of the ultrasound image feed based on the adjusted frequency and the adjusted beamformer parameter; based on the first image data, adjusts Time Gain Compensation (TGC) of the ultrasound image feed; and receives second image data of the ultrasound image feed based on the adjusted frequency, beamformer parameter and TGC. Display of the second image data on the touchscreen display is then optimized without receipt of additional user input.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for controlling visualization of ultrasound image data. The systems can be configured to display a live ultrasound image feed on a touchscreen and receive input via the touchscreen to adjust imaging parameters of the live ultrasound image feed, with the input having continuous contact with the touchscreen. During the continuous contact with the touchscreen, a transitional view of the live ultrasound image feed can be displayed, with the transitional view being continuously updated to indicate previews of the live ultrasound image feed with the imaging parameters adjusted. The continuous updating can be performed in accordance with characteristics of the contact with the touchscreen and while the transitional view continues the display of the live ultrasound image feed.
